About Filecoin
Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralised storage network. It creates an open marketplace where people who need to store data pay providers who offer spare storage capacity, with cryptographic proofs verifying that the data is actually being kept.
Filecoin was built by Protocol Labs, the team behind IPFS, a widely used protocol for addressing and sharing data. FIL is the token used to pay for storage and to reward and secure the providers who supply it.
Decentralised storage is a genuine use case, but Filecoin competes with cheap, established centralised cloud providers, and its long-term value depends on real demand for decentralised storage. FIL is volatile like all crypto assets.
